Calcite – #317
A striking miniature featuring lustrous calcite crystals perched on a dark, iron-rich matrix from the historic Ojuela Mine. The contrast between the translucent, honey-white calcite rhombohedrons and the textured black host rock gives this piece exceptional visual dimension. Subtle yellow inclusions add warmth and depth, making it an elegant representation of Ojuela’s diverse mineral assemblages.
Details:
• Weight: 0.9 oz (≈ 25 g)
• Size: approx. 2.4" × 1.4" × 1.1"
• Type: Calcite
• Origin: Ojuela Mine, Mapimí, Durango, Mexico
• Finish: Natural, unpolished
• Family: Carbonate minerals (calcium carbonate)
Energetic & Metaphysical Properties:
Purification • Expansion • Inner Balance
Chakras: Crown • Solar Plexus
Element: Fire & Air
Calcite cleanses and amplifies energy, promoting clarity of mind and spiritual insight. Its reflective geometry encourages perspective and renewal, making it a supportive stone for transformation, growth, and creative problem-solving.
Geological Notes:
• Crystal System: Trigonal (Rhombohedral habit)
• Hardness: 3
• Formation: Formed in hydrothermal veins and open cavities within oxidized zinc and lead deposits.
• Associated Minerals: Hemimorphite, smithsonite, adamite, and aurichalcite often accompany calcite at Ojuela Mine.
Display Note:
Exquisite contrast between light calcite crystals and dark granular matrix — ideal for display under natural or LED light to highlight the luster and geometric form.
